YXLON successfully inaugurates new site in South Germany

YXLON International, the world's market leader in industrial X-ray and CT technology, celebrated the successful inauguration of its third location in Germany and ninth site worldwide accompanied by a great deal of positive feedback from customers, representatives of the public from the Heilbronn region, and the media.

On the 21st and 22nd of September, a total of 44 company representatives on the modern premises of the new YXLON branch at the "Zukunftspark", a complex for technology and innovation in Heilbronn, convinced themselves of the numerous options that, starting now, are available to them at this Application and Service Center in southern Germany. With Ms. Margarete Krug, the well-wishing mayor of Heilbronn, attending along with the local press and radio stations, YXLON welcomed customers and interested visitors to a successfully staged 'grand opening event'.

The creation of this third location in Germany is not only an important step in enacting the YXLON sales strategy toward intensifying both proximity to the customer and service, it also results in significant advantages for existing and potential customers. For companies in Germany, as well as in Switzerland, Austria and France, YXLON now additionally offers a comprehensive application service in South Germany, in other words in the regional vicinity, alongside its locations in Hamburg und Hattingen.

Besides demonstrations of the X-ray systems in practice, a large number of talks with customers revolved around concrete requirements, many of them frequently already existing, that show the great demand for inspection services within this market. The first follow-up appointments were already being arranged on-site; further applications are planned via coupon vouchers offered in the course of a special promotional action on the occasion of the inauguration. Up-to-date solutions to match the various inspection specifications are available at the well-equipped Application Center in Heilbronn: the universal Y.Multiplex X-ray inspection system geared with a variofocus beam source and CT option for inspecting larger components, and the 2D/3D microfocus system Y.Cheetah.

"The investment has paid off even before the inauguration ceremony, among other factors thanks to the very good connections for transportation," according to Dr. Joseph Kosanetzky, managing director at YXLON. The company is convinced of future successes due to the outstanding potential exhibited by the new local presence in Heilbronn.
